In less than a month of forging alliance with the third front, headed by the Left parties, AIADMK chief J. Jayalaithaa snapped ties with it, reportedly on issues regarding seat-sharing.
The CPI leader, D. Raja, however said that Jayalalithaa had requested the party not to mention BJP's PM candidate Narendra Modi in their campaign. “There was a request from the AIADMK supremo to our leaders not to speak against Narendra Modi and the BJP during the election campaign. This was one reason for the rift, followed byfailure in the seat-sharing talks,” Raja said on Friday.
Though the BJP-led front has successfully shaped up in the state, with support from Vijayakanth's DMDK, Dr S. Ramadoss's PMK, Vaiko's MDMK and other fringe groups like IJK and Kongunadu party, the vote share is less than 20 per cent.
“It is a formidable alliance. With our captain and Modi wave,” we will sweep the polls, says Malarmannan, a DMDK office-bearer in Chennai. The AIADMK now looks for a post-poll arrangement with the BJP, as the Chief Minister already shares a friendly relationship with Modi. He had, in fact, tweeted birthday wishes to Jayalalithaa.
Meanwhile, Jayalalithaa also called her West Bengal counterpart Mamata Banerjee to wish her success in the ensuing Lok Sabha polls. She also thanked Didi for saying that she was open to supporting Jayalalithaa as Prime Minister.
The Week | Jaya told us not to speak againt Modi: CPI
People knew Aam Aadmi Party head Arvind Kejriwal was on a fault-finding mission to Gujarat. Unfazed by the ridicule it has drawn from the crowds, however, today the AAP honcho tried to barge into Chief Minister Narendra Modi’s office in Gandhinagar without a prior appointment, but with the media informed of the impending roadshow beforehand as usual!
First, his cadre land up in Gujarat, take pictures of the few dilapidated buildings one comes across while leaving the Ahmedabad airport that long ago used to be makeshift shelters for some daily wage labourers who have been moved to better buildings to live in. They spread selective imagery as if it were representative of the whole State, as canard on Facebook.
Then Kejriwal perpetrates the lie via Twitter by uploading a picture of an abandoned house, passing it off as the health centre in village Badi Pipli of the Pattan district. The facts are, first, the building no longer houses the health centre. Second, when it did, it was in a much better shape. Third, health — just as any other sector in the economy of Gujarat — is not exclusively a Government domain. The collective responsibility of the State towards its people’s health is shared happily by private sector doctors for a nominal fee. Under the Chief Minister Services of Experts at Treatment Unit scheme, private doctors (including specialists) offer their services at hospitals and health centres under eight different categories — physician, surgeon, orthopaedic surgeon, paediatrician, gynaecologist, radiologist, ENT specialist and pathologist — at Government cost, three hours a day.
The Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP was not such an avowed liar in the days when this correspondent was a part of the party. Its Press conferences used to be equipped with official responses to RTI queries. In those good old days, when Arvind Kejriwal said things were wrong in our system, many would be convinced they were indeed wrong. Now he shoots in the dark, hoping against hope that parts of the accusations will stick with some people.
I many not come online for a month or 2. I wish when I come back, NaMo is officially our PM. He is the only person today who has the guts to take strong decisions and stand by them. He has no qualms in saying that economic progress should reach all, and has no issues in empowering all sections of the society. He does not pamper any vote banks and does not believe that one community needs to get special attention over the others. He is a threat to the anti national parties like the congress, BSP, SP etc who have destroyed all remnants of secularism and democracy in the name of vote bank politics.
India needs NaMo for better future of the country and citizens.He is the only hope for India now. Vote for Modi vote for India!
